He also enjoys terrorizing other beybladers and has a power-hungry personality. Although in episode 51 it is revealed that Ryuga's behaviour was caused by L-Drago's possession over him.(Ryuga turns into a dragon) Although when he has Meteo L-Drago he has much more control over himself; this may be because he has full control over Meteo or that he is hiding its true power. With L-Drago Destroy, he won all the time, until when he encountered Rago. Ryuga was knocked unconcious as he groaned. He had scratches all over his body, and L-Drago Destroy was destroyed.
